i am on effexor 225mg. and have been for years, my doctor added ability and once it got into my system i was worse, so i started with half a pill, it was a little better but my crying was increased from when i just took Effexor, so i took it half for a couple of months and no improvement, so i dropped it all together.
No, I am not talking about the context of doctor visits.
I am talking about you being sarcastic to the suggestions that I made to Mandy with regard to her niece only being present in the room and speaking when asked to do so when she sees her doctor.
You even copied my whole paragraph to make your sarcastic point.
That type of behaviour, with you being the forum representative for MedHelp, is unacceptable.

You need to give the Effexor more time. And be sure to ONLY take it with a significant amount of food. Then when you feel nauseated, just eat a little bit. That always settles my stomach when I've had nausea from the Effexor. But your stomach will get more used to it in time.
If the doctor never said that you have kidney disease, then there is nothing that you have to worry about. Even with my Stage 3 Kidney failure, my kidney specialist doctor says that there is no need to watch my diet at all. So what sense does it make for you to worry about what you eat, when you don't have any kidney failure? I think that you should talk to your doctor next time about your great worries about kidney disease. And maybe he can prescribe an anti-anxiety medication for you. However, the Effexor is likely to help your irrational anxieties. Anti-depressants are known for often settling down anxieties.
I myself have controlled my depression by increasing my Effexor. Also I need to take an anti-anxiety medication which is the most common medication to treat a condition called Myoclonus which causes involuntary jerking of my limbs and even my torso. This was caused by my stroke. So that's why I take the anti-anxiety medication, but in the bargain, my anxiety is gone! I used to have a constant low level anxiety about everything and really nothing. It was difficult for me to even know what the anxiety was about. And sometimes I would suddenly get a major anxiety, which I knew was completely irrational. I would tell my husband, "I'm suddenly terribly anxious." He would say, "About what?" To which I would say "About nothing." So my anxiety is different from yours, but I do know what it feels like. Many people with anxiety attribute their anxiety to whatever is going on at the time. That's what I think may be happening to you. You frequently are worried about things, like insurance needing to be paid and picking up your pills for example.
So everything can get better for you. Really. You take care.

There is no need to be sarcastic and run people down! .
Are you talking about in the context of what we're discussing, with the doctor's visits?

When someone goes to Court, they can have what is called a McEnzie Friend. That means they are there for support if you need them, but cannot talk or act on your behalf.
I used to do that a lot when I took old dears to see a doctor. But, unfortunately, there are cases when a "friend" can take over. Unless there is a Health Power of Attorney in place, they should sit in the corner and give support and only chip in when the patient requires them to.
To be perfectly honest, I do not like people taking the micky out of me thank you. I have had a lot experience in looking after and escorting people to the doctors and helping them.

Either see the doctor on your own, or tell your niece that she can come into the room with you, but she needs to sit at the other end of the room and only speak when YOU ask her a question.
PERFECT!
If she will adhere to that plan, it's perfect. That way, if you get confused, or befuddled, you can ask her to chime in anytime, but not unless you need her to.

Mandy, it takes a few weeks for antidepressants to have any effect. Give the Effexor a little more time. But when you see your doctor, like I mentioned to you before, ask the doctor if you can take them a couple of hours before going to bed rather than taking them in the morning.
